Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The signal transducer and activator of transcription-2 (STAT2) was discovered as a cellular component of the DNA binding complex known as interferon (IFN) stimulated gene factor-3. Numerous studies have confirmed that STAT2 operates as a positive regulator in the transcriptional activation response elicited by IFNs. In this article, we highlight the progress made in elucidating the pivotal role of STAT2 in driving the expression of IFN-induced genes, innate antiviral immunity, apoptosis, and cancer. A better understanding of the functional role of STAT2 in the IFN response and how STAT2 is regulated will uncover new clues to its role in diseases.
